Border filters
Border filters overview
Border filters allow you to frame objects in a composition in various ways.
For a description of each Border filter, see the filters list in the Help table of contents (the sidebar
to the left of this window).
Bevel
Creates a bevelled border around the edges of an image by superimposing an angled frame over
the original image. The simulated direction of reflected light and opacity of the bevel can be
adjusted to vary the effect.
This filter causes rasterization in 3D groups. For more information on rasterization, see Groups
and rasterization on page 1045.
